Jammu and Kashmir Election Results 2024: All Eyes on October 8 as Counting Begins – Where and How to Check Results
The highly anticipated vote counting for the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly Elections is set to take place tomorrow, October 8, 2024. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has confirmed that the process will kick off at 8 a.m., with officials and party representatives arriving at the counting centers as early as 5 a.m. for briefings and preparations.
Counting will begin with postal ballots, which include votes from persons with disabilities, security personnel, and government employees engaged in essential services. Once postal ballots are processed, the counting of votes cast via Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) will commence.
Initial trends are expected by midday, while a clearer picture of the election outcome is anticipated by late afternoon. Results for individual constituencies will be announced as soon as counting is completed. India’s first-past-the-post system means the candidate with the highest number of votes in each constituency will be declared the winner.
